Advanced KDFX
Real-time Control of KDFX
instead will say FXMod. DonÕt touch any of those parameters for nowÑweÕll explain why in a
moment.
Note that if you look at the studio when FX Mode is in Master, the FXMods will not be displayed,
because the FXMods are not in effect! So donÕt get confused.
Breaking the Links
When FX Mode is Program (or Setup) and you are in the Studio Editor, if you change a
parameter that has been assigned an FXMod, it breaks the linkÑthe parameter is no longer
under FXMod control, but is now a static value. If you now save the studio (either in the same
location or a different one), the link stays broken. However, if you leave the studio without
saving it, and go back to the FXMod pages of the Program Editor, the link automatically
reestablishes itself.
If you change the FX preset on an FXBus, the FXMod links to the preset on that bus may or may
not break. If the preset youÕre calling up uses the same algorithm as the preset youÕre leaving, the
links will stay intact. If it uses a different algorithmÑeven a similar oneÑthe links will break.
On the other hand, if you are inside a preset, and you change its algorithm, that breaks the links.
Again, the links will be reestablished if you leave the preset without saving it.
Links to the Aux and Mix parameters on an FXBus do not get interrupted when you change the
FXpreset on that bus.
The same rule applies when you are on the KDFX page in a program or setup and you change
the studio. Links to the Input and Output pages and the Level parameters on the FXBus pages
will be retained, but links to processing parameters will be retained on a given FXBus only if the
algorithm inside the preset on that bus isnÕt changed.
What About Bus Overrides?
Bus overrides are transparent, as far as KDFX is concerned. Any FXMods that involve a
parameter inside an FX preset are set up directly between the program and the FX preset itself. If
the parameter happens also to be assigned a bus override, it doesnÕt make a difference to
KDFXÑthe program will control the parameter as if the bus override wasnÕt there.
However, bus overrides are still active within a studio, and changing a bus override value in a
studio will, as usual, change its associated FX preset parameter. If there happens to be an
FXMod also controlling that parameter, the FXMod link will be broken, just as if you reset the
parameter from inside the FX preset.
Using FXMods So You Don’t Have to Change Studios
WeÕve mentioned that FXMods are a good way to get around the need to create a new studio
every time you want to make a small change in a studioÕs parameters. The same studio can be
